PROGRAMS
UNIFORM CLOSET
A program to reuse and recycle pre-loved uniforms. Donations are collected, organized and distributed all year! PTO offers a designated day before the school year begins for anyone to look thru and pick these gently worn uniforms. After that, uniforms are available upon request for the remainder of the year.

GREEN TEAM
This program organizes the planting, maintaining and harvesting of Southside’s garden. Thanks to our dedicated team of volunteers our entire school is enriched educationally thru this platform. The Garden is used as a tool for teachers and volunteer parents to create experiential learning in and out of the classroom from the plants and vegetables these classrooms grow.
